Say hello to the U55
Checking out the sights in Berlin’s Regierungsviertel (government quarter) just got easier. Berlin debuted its newest and shortest U-bahn line on August 8. The three-stop U55 line, designed with tourists and politicos in mind, shuttles between the Hauptbahnhof (central train station) and the Brandenburger Tor (Brandenburg Gate), with a stop at the Bundestag (Parliament) in between. (The line will eventually reach Alexanderplatz).Berlin’s transportation system, the BVG, also changed the name of the S-bahn station at the base of Pariser Platz (where the Brandenburger Gate stands) from “Unter den Linden” to “Brandenburger Tor”.
